There's a massive difference between rendering correctly and readably, and looking good.
The mass market rejected the usable in favour of the pretty, and we all have to suffer as a result. Make your site render properly on small devices and people will bitch that it isn't the same as the desktop version, it's the wrong colour, the fucking bunnies stopped hopping along the bottom of the screen.
No, you're the fucking idiot for failing to realise just how fucking complex and what a serious pain in the arse this shit is.
Time does come into it. Your brain is not solidly set in your head. When your skull stops moving, it takes time for your brain to stop moving; if the difference is too great then the brain bounces off the hard bits and gets damaged.
Making the transition from 'fast' to 'stopped' take a little longer gives the internal cushioning within the skull more time to do its thing and prevent the contents getting damaged.
In this country white men are bottom of the list for social housing. Men get fucked over by the courts. Men get worse healthcare and die younger. Men are practically excluded from some professions. Men get lower passrates at exams. Men are more likely to be physically assaulted. Men retire at an older age. Men don't get support when they're the victims of domestic abuse (and men under 25 are more likely to be victims than women under 25).
Yet I'm meant to be fucking happy because I can go out and work 60 hours to pay higher fucking taxes than women?
Yeah, more predictable and usually more space to maneuvre too.
I hate using my brakes on motorways as it often indicates that either I'm driving badly, or someone else has fucked up and forced other drivers to avoid them. I get pissed off by both scenarios.
The car is capable, but that doesn't mean I have to use that capability.
It actually translates to not needing full power to start moving, or to accelerate normally, but having spare capacity available when I need to gain speed quickly - merging into traffic or overtaking a slower vehicle.
I can spin my wheels (in an automatic, without dropping gear, with traction control on) and I still get 40 to the gallon while driving at high speeds. On long journeys in heavy traffic I get over 50. What's your point exactly?
Move on to the Guardian (Extremist), the Telegraph (Extremist), the Sun (Pornographic) and the Mirror (not suitable for children).
I'd add in websites attached to any religions (all guilty of child abuse) and obviously all political parties (as they're extremist, and trying to subvert the democractic process).
Basically the more of the internet to which the blocks prevent access, the more likely they are to be turned off.
You don't have to take the job being 'forced' onto you. It's just that the Government wont continue to hand out cash to you if you don't.
The conversation goes along the lines of You: I have no job, I need money Gov: Here, have some money to keep you going while you find a job You: I have no job, I need money Gov: For fucks sake it's been fucking months. Find something. Here's some money anyway You: I have no job, I need money Gov: Ok, here's money. And here's a job. They go together. Your call.
No, it's not illegal to offer an unfiltered connection in the UK. The IWF blacklist is an opt-in choice for ISPs. There are some small ISPs that haven't opted in.
Nod, overreaction makes sense. After all, there's no point dodging the punch, defusing the situation, understanding the problem and resolving it when you can assure yourself a lengthy break from work by shooting some idiot in the face with a gun you clearly aren't qualified to use.
If you need a manager to provide non-technical input and options then you're too remote from your user community.
Work with your users. If you can, sit with them. Call them up. Share your plans, your problems, your ideas. Listen to theirs. Always look for a non-technical answer first - don't automate process step X, find a way of not needing it in the first place.
A good manager is extremely valuable but not a suitable substitute for proper communications and engagement with people outside of your immediate team.
Perhaps the vendors are targeted because they have weaker security than the banks - both the issuers and acquirers.
The banks are already being targeted, continually. Eventually someone will succeed, but banks and card providers spend an awfully large amount of time, money and effort in making sure they aren't the first one.
Anyway, why go for a card company? Sure Visa or Mastercard would be the motherlode? Of course, they too have data security at the top of their requirements list for any new systems.

-an ironic comment posted on a website
..that allows you to subscribe, as a way of funding the site without seeing ads, and even allows some non-subscribers to turn off ads.
The irony is that he's ranting about poor business models on a site that doesn't have that specific problem.
(judging from the pictures) if you hit at the wrong angle, you can cause the cardboard to collapse by twisting and falling over rather than crushing
I'd (very possibly wrongly) assumed that a honeycomb structure would be three dimensional to address this risk?

Worse than that, the local pole-dancing classes stipulate, "No men."
Sexists bastards. I'd look good on a pole.
working to reach out and be more inclusive of the increasingly diverse neighborhood around my church is a recurring theme
Yeah, hard to tithe people that don't Believe, isn't it.

Fuck you.
No, what the term does is make you look like a frothing-at-the-mouth fuckwit and make readers discount your views.
And fuck the feminists.
I mean that the gearing on the car is designed to run it efficiently at high speed.
Fuck marketing, I checked gear ratios before purchasing.
Yeah, more predictable and usually more space to maneuvre too.

Well, apologies for driving a car designed for efficient performance on the Autobahn.

Yeah, I've heard those too. It's a bit daft but also difficult to put a process around.
I'd stop unpaid internships, it's just slave labour..
bulk submits Daily Mail pages
I'd start with http://dailymail.co.uk/ and get the whole site blocked.

The act of viewing it includes creating a new copy of the bits in the display memory area.
See the word 'creating' in the sentence above? In the UK they don't just charge you with possession, they charge you with creation too.
Yes, people are found guilty.
Nod, overreaction makes sense. After all, there's no point dodging the punch, defusing the situation, understanding the problem and resolving it when you can assure yourself a lengthy break from work by shooting some idiot in the face with a gun you clearly aren't qualified to use.
cunt.
If I'm your manager, I'm sending you home.
I want you to grow as a professional and as a person, not burn out. Letting you work excessive hours isn't helping you.
If you need a manager to provide non-technical input and options then you're too remote from your user community.

Forgive me for knowing how non-US businesses work.
Hollywood remakes of good foreign films generally _do_ lose what's good about the originals.
Which kind of proves the point: If the material is any good, it will succeed and wont need artificial state support.
Sorry but what the fuck are people still using cheques for in this day and age?
Especially for rent!
Just set up a recurring electronic transfer ffs. It's not hard.
